Enter the time spent during overnight visits, weekend visits, holiday visits, and daily visits into the calculator to determine the total parenting time.
Parenting Time Formula
The following formula can be used to calculate the total parenting time.
PT = (OV + WV + HV + DV)
Variables:
- PT is the total parenting time (hours)
- OV is the time spent during overnight visits (hours)
- WV is the time spent during weekend visits (hours)
- HV is the time spent during holiday visits (hours)
- DV is the time spent during daily visits (hours)
To calculate the total parenting time, add the time spent during overnight visits, weekend visits, holiday visits, and daily visits. This will give you the total amount of time the non-custodial parent spends with their child or children.
What is Parenting Time?
Parenting time, also known as visitation, refers to the time a non-custodial parent is allowed to spend with their child or children following a separation or divorce. This time is typically outlined in a parenting plan or custody agreement and can vary greatly depending on the circumstances of the family. It is designed to maintain the child’s relationship with both parents and can include overnight visits, weekend visits, holiday visits, or daily visits.
How to Calculate Parenting Time?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Parenting Time using the given formula:
- First, determine the time spent during overnight visits (OV) in hours.
- Next, determine the time spent during weekend visits (WV) in hours.
- Next, determine the time spent during holiday visits (HV) in hours.
- Next, determine the time spent during daily visits (DV) in hours.
- Finally, use the formula PT = (OV + WV + HV + DV) to calculate the total parenting time in hours.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge:
OV (time spent during overnight visits) = 8 hours
WV (time spent during weekend visits) = 6 hours
HV (time spent during holiday visits) = 4 hours
DV (time spent during daily visits) = 2 hours
